David Beckham plans to bring Major League Soccer to Miami, announcing this morning that he wants to purchase an expansion team there on the condition that he can secure a location and financing for a new stadium.

“This is an exciting time, and something we’re really looking forward to bringing to Miami,” said Beckham, at a press conference Wednesday morning.

The former Los Angeles Galaxy and Manchester United soccer player has the right to buy an expansion team at the reduced price of $25 million, believed to have been part of his deal with Galaxy.

Beckham might not be the only world-famous athlete with a financial interest in the new team, as Al Jazeera reports that Beckham has reached out to Miami heat star LeBron James as a potential backer of the project.
